An efficient catalytic system for the production of hydrogen from a methanol–water solution has been developed using a new anionic iridium complex bearing a functional bipyridonate ligand as a catalyst. This system can be operated under mild conditions [weakly basic solution (0.046 mol L?1 NaOH) below 100 °C] without the use of an additional organic solvent. Long‐term continuous hydrogen production from a methanol–water solution catalyzed by the anionic iridium complex was also achieved. 相似文献

The mechanism of the electrorheological (ER) effect in two types of liquid crystalline polymer (LCP)/dimethylsiloxane (DMS)
blends was investigated by rheological measurements and by structure observation under electric field and shear flow. The
results show that the phase structures of these immiscible blends can be categorized into slipping (low viscosity) and non-slipping
(high viscosity) states. In the non-slipping state, higher viscosity LCP domains connect the electrodes. In the slipping state,
on the other hand, LCP domains do not connect the electrodes and the shear is mainly confined in the lower viscosity DMS domains.
The ER effect (electrically induced viscosity increase) originates from the electrically induced slipping to non-slipping
transition. In one of the blends, the ER effect occurs only at high shear rate, since this blend is in non-slipping state
even under no field if the shear rate is low.

Optically active ethynylhelicene pentamers and hexamers linked by disulfide bonds were synthesized. They formed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with double helix structure on gold surfaces, which were analyzed by infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (IR-RAS), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and circular dichroism (CD). Double helix SAMs could be formed on gold surfaces either from double helices or random coils in solution. The double helices on the surface were more stable than in solution. This result suggested the presence of strong intercomplex interactions between double helix complexes on the surface. 相似文献
Optically active aromatic ether ketone macrocycles containing 2,2′-dimethoxy-1,1′-binaphthyl-6,6′-diyl moieties were synthesized through electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction and stepwise nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Structures of the resulting macrocycles were confirmed by NMR and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass measurements. 相似文献
The anionic organic dye, zincon, was found to be a colorimetric probe for spermine and spermidine at pH 4.0 in pure aqueous solution through its aggregation by electrostatic interactions with them. The addition of spermine and spermidine led to bathochromic shifts with color changes from yellow to purple and dark brown, respectively, while other amines and basic amino acids induced no or minimal spectral and color changes. From Job’s plot and titration experiments, zincon interacted with spermine (+4 charges) and spermidine (+3 charges) in 4:1 and 3:1 stoichiometric ratios, respectively, indicating that each positive charge was bound to one zincon molecule. The detection limits were determined to be 25.1 for spermine and 30.7 nM for spermidine, which were sufficient below the critical concentration for cancer diagnosis. The results indicated that zincon can be a good candidate for simple, convenient colorimetric detection of spermine and spermidine in aqueous solution. 相似文献
We investigate coherent transport through hybrid systems of quantum dots and Aharonov–Bohm (AB) rings. Strong coherence over the entire system leads to the Fano effect, which originates from the interference and the phase shift caused by the discrete states in the dots. The high controllability of the system parameters reveals that the Fano effect in mesoscopic transport can be a powerful tool for detecting the phase shift of electrons. We apply it to detect electrostatic phase modulation and the phase shift in a quantum wire with a side-coupled dot. Finally, we provide an experimental answer to the problem of “neighboring in-phase Coulomb peaks”. 相似文献
Amorphous sodium aluminosilicate thin films containing large amounts of Al2O3 were deposited on fused silica substrates by rf-sputtering, and their aluminum K-band X-ray emission spectra were measured by using an electron probe X-ray microanalyser in order to determine the coordination number of aluminum ions in the amorphous thin films.
The chemical shifts for the amorphous films with Al2O3/Na2O<1 were almost identical with those of tetrahedrally coordinated aluminum ions in microline. On the other hand, for the amorphous films with Al2O3/Na2O>1, the chemical shifts increased with increasing Al2O3/NA2OF ratio, approaching that of amorphous alumina. From the comparison with the chemical shifts of -Al2O3 and mullite, the coordination state of aluminum ions in amorphous alumina was found to be about 5, and its structure was found similar to be that in crystalline Al2O3 with spinel-type structure. These results indicate that in amorphous sodium aluminosilicate thin films aluminum ions exist in the tetrahedrally coordinated state when the Al2O3/Na2O ratio is nearly equal to or less than unity. However, when the Al2O3/Na2O ratio exceeds unity, some of the aluminum ions begin to assume the octahedrally coordinated state and increase in number with increasing Al2O3/Na2O ratio. 相似文献
We establish a scale-invariant version of the boundary Harnack principle for p-harmonic functions in Euclidean C1,1-domains and obtain estimates for the decay rates of positive p-harmonic functions vanishing on a segment of the boundary in terms of the distance to the boundary. We use these estimates
to study the behavior of conformal Martin kernel functions and positive p-superharmonic functions near the boundary of the domain.
